Drama Department i ii i Premiere of Play Opens Three-Day , Performance at Salem Theatre House By Maxine Bares Attending th world prvmiere of hit ply Is something even ft ttmall city drama critic dreams fondly of. True, wt were only one of the audience in a packed house out t the "Cellar Theater" on Thursday but we did attend the opening performance of the hit play "Murder of London" which played a successful run of three performances. And afterwards we met the actor - playwrites, although we " ' Members of th exist oi Th London Murderer' are pictured above In a tense scene at the open ing performance on Thursday night at the "Cellar theatre."

Bate son were hosts for a. smartly ar ranged buft dinner Friday night at their country place in compliment to a group of their friends. The buffet table was centered with an arrangement of yellow chrysanthemums and candles. The evening hours were spent informally. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bate neglected to get any autograph- I suppose you wouldn't com pare it exactly to a long run on Broadway, or the playwrite-act-ori to Noel Coward but they wrote the play . themselves, and they were the stars in tt, and the audience had lots of fun watch ing. Three young Fairmount hill perso nali tie collaborating in writing : "Murderer of London" were Geraldine Keene, Sidney Anne Kromer and Marcia Ma ple, who had an excellent sup porting cast consisting of Julie Mifleri Of course Bill Ringnalda uttered the sinister lines, ""Let's see. where: do they keep the sil ver" with real feeling - - but he wasn't ; exactly the star, he was practically nothing but the sha dow of a murderer. He had his innings later. To Mrs.' Myrco Ringnalda goes credit for directing the little play. She gave enough smooth ne.i tt ke-p. up audience inter eft, alt the while retaining the charm of the children's own words a ltd actions. Cera Mine was the dashing lieutenant of the London police furce, named Michael O'Shee, as I recall, whose mere presence kept the Fountaine sisters, Je anne and Chriftire (Sidney Anne and Murcij) from completely collapsing from fear. The latter 4 two, in wha house one of the murders occurred, sat on a quaint, : child-sized davenport or 1 wrung their hands in dismay, every irumvyit believing them ' selves to be the nest victim. Julie Miller played the ade noidal maid with gusto, shaking the crumiMt from the table cloth In her mistress' Jaces, and gener ally attending to the housework for all the threatened tragedy. Clastic line of the play waa ut tered when a scream from the kitchen heralded the murder of the cok u:id one of the Misses Fountaine exclaimed "Oh dear, T and servants are so hard to get ' these djtys!" ?SUck Trirka ',. Second f the plays was writ ten and played by the Ringnal da children. Bill and Karen, and was called "The Magic Stock ing." The title should have pre pared us, but we were complete ly taken by surprise when San ta Claus, played by Bill of course, with hand quicker than the eye, changed an empty btamp album into a full one and produced a glassful of candy from a box of oatmeal (which of course no child would want in a stocking). The idea was, that Bill, played by himself, tried to beat his sister, Karen, played by herself, at getting presents by cutting a hole in his Stocking and putting ' a basket under it. Santa, of course didn't fall for the hoax and in fact the miscreant paid dearly by finding a well-mended but empty stock ing for his trouble. Obviously ad libbed was San ta's single word said when he ftxuid something put into his bag by the property woman, which didn't suit his taste as to what a Santa carries around in a bag. The word, uttered loudly enough to be heard by all was "corn." The third play was a little puppet play by Karen and in which the parts were said and Novelty Nook 151 S. Church St. Has!
